Completed October 2, 2015 by CrassPip

Rules 69/80

Structure 9/9

Excellent.

Requirements 3/3

The requirements are listed at the very end of the rules (though 2-4 players is mentioned at the beginning.)

Introduction 2/3

It's a little odd to say that this city "might be" built in a day... hopefully it will be built in more like a half hour.

Overview 3/3

Good description of gameplay at a high level.

Component List 4/5

It's not entirely clear whether there are 28 markers of each color or 28 total. How many reminder cards are there? The capitalization of White Start Player token and Black Round marker are odd.

Component Pictures 2/3

Not needed.

Setup 10/10

Good description and picture.

Setup Pictures 5/7

The image shows each player with cards, but no cards are dealt out in setup.

Game Play 15/15

Game Play Pictures 5/7

Good. You might want to add an example of tiles that do and do not connect to City Hall.

End Point 2/6

There should be a tie-breaker.

Overall Comprehension 4/4

The rules seem perfectly straightforward.

Clarity 3/3

Very few errors.

Presentation 2/2

Excellent.

Shop Presentation 16/20

Ad 2/3

You could add something about the nature of the game (like "in this strategic tile-laying game.")

Backdrop 1/1

Good.

Logo 1/1

Fine.

Action Shots 4/5

The overview shots are good. You could add some close-ups of cards or other components.

Description 4/5

Brief but good.

Video 4/5

The content and format of the video are good, but the sound is bad. It would be good to rerecord the commentary using a better microphone. During scoring the white text is hard to see on the light background.
